IOS 7.1.1 cellular data settings won't save on iPhone 4s???

I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4s, with the latest version of iOS 7 as of writing this, version 7.1.1 Whenever go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for a lot of my apps except for a few key apps that I need it for (Mainly Mail, FB Messenger App, Google Maps, and What' s App that I leave on), the moment I back out and come back in, almost all the apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. I've tried turning background app-refresh off thinking it was overriding my cellular settings, nothing. I've tried restarting my phone a bunch of times, nothing. Nothing I do seems to fix this issue and it's frustrating because I have the minimum data plan and I can't turn cellular off completely because I don't have a texting plan and depend on iMessages, FB Messenger, and What's App to get messages from people, and a lot of times it can be urgent so I need to figure out how to fix this stupid bug. Anybody else have a similar issue and/or know how to fix this?
BTW , i try to rest the network setting and still same problem.

Check out this thread, where a solution is proposed. (it's technical)

I bought an IPhone 3gs and tried to reset the APN but when I click on settings then General they tell me to click on the "Network" tab but there is not a tab for "Network"? After Network, I was supposed to go to Cellular Data Settings?

I bought an IPhone 3gs and tried to reset the APN through Strait Talk Wireless but when I click on settings then "General" tab they tell me to click on the "Network" tab but there is not a "Network" tab? After Network, I was supposed to go to Cellular Data Settings but I can't find the Network tab under the General tab. I watched videos and every IPhone I saw had the Network tab but mine don't, can anyone please help this old man fix this new technology, so I can use the Internes and MSM?Thanks, jerry b <><

Hey electrikn,
Thanks for the question. If your iPhone 3GS has been updated to iOS 6, this setting had moved:
Set network options: Go to Settings > General > Cellular

No Longer able to Change Cellular Data settings. STUCK!!!!

I AM USING AN UNLOCKED 3G iPHONE WITH TMOBILE SERVICE
I use to be able to change the cellular data settings, but now out of the the blue. the options have changed!
I would go to Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data> and then more options
now when i get to _Cellular Data it only gives me the option to turn it off or on! like the wifi option_.
It wasnt like this last week and i cant seem to get it back to the way it use to be. Ive reset the network settings with no luck.
Without having the option to modify the cellular data settings i can no longer set my phone up to send/receive picture texts.
*Please HELP*

I dont know what happened but I plugged my external monitor in and ever since I cannot change my energy saving preferences through the icon in the bar. The icon is still there but the option does not exist any longer. Any help is appreciated
Those options were removed in 10.5.6. A well-documented change. Search these boards for more information.

IOS 5.1 using cellular data with no apps open

Just upgraded iphone 4s to iOS 5.1. Now when I am not connected to wifi, my cellular data usage is constant and rapid. No apps are open, no data usage that I am aware of. But when I check the cellular data usage, it goes up by about 1MB every minute. Just the day before on iOS 5.0, no cellular data would be used with all apps closed.

Iphone 3GS. updated to iOS 6.0.1 Friday. Data usage until then about 300MB
Sunday Morning around 4am. Phone incredibly hot even though connected to charger and home Wifi network. Usage exceeds 3GB for month and extra 3.5GB. Total usage in 12 hours 6.5GB.
Sunday afternoon after receiving message from AT&T about excess data, turned off Cellular Data and 3G and limited to only Wifi.
Monday evening 2GB cellular data. Total data usage in 2 days 9GB????? W/T/F ???
Even when 3G and cellular data is turned OFF, 2GB used up?
Now, turned OFF Cellular data and Wifi and using it as a regular phone with texting and calling. Maybe will buy a regular phone and be done with all these useless charges. Someone should be held accountable here.
PO.

Can i update ios 8.0 via cellular data network?

Can i update ios 8.0 via cellular data network?

No, it uses too much cellular data. Also if your phone is running fine on IOS 7.1.2 I'd hold off upgrading until a few more of the bugs have been worked out of IOS 8.

Cellular data settings lost after updating iphone 4. How do I return these settings?

Hello All,
I bought my iPhone 4 from the Apple Store in the UK, the phone was bought "SIM FREE" and hence it is unlocked.
When I used to go to the phone settings, I had the option to change the network settings for my Internet Connection, MMS settings and others.
After updating my iPhone 4 using iTunes, I lost these settings and now I cant configure my cellular data connection.
Does anyone know how to reactivate the settings for the Cellular Data Settings?
Thanks in advance,
Raed

You will need to contact the carrier. All supported carrier settings are in the iPhone's database and are applied automatically when a SIM card is installed from a recognized carrier.

IPad Cellular Data Settings for the UK

Hi All,
Please find my blog piece on APN and Cellular Data Settings for the iPad2 in the UK. SOme of these settings do work on the iPhones also.
Thanks

Yes, and it didn't help.
Now I'm restoring the factory settings (after backing up)... going to see if it works when "clean"...

HT4623 After i ugraded to iOS7 the LTE is not appearing anymore only 3G,4G. Before on the cellular data settings LTE is there now it is replaced by 4G.

After i ugraded to iOS7 the LTE is not appearing anymore only 3G,4G. Before on the cellular data settings LTE is there now it is replaced by 4G.

created an account just to piggyback on YardleyFFL, I have the exact same issue with my latest-generation IPad/Verizon data plan & having to press my luck with the exact same type of fixes as he's outlined above except in the DC metro area. *** is going on with that, had I known that I would be costing myself dearly in LTE connectivity I would've resisted the ios6 update.
Maybe this is the wrong place to vent but the IPad's cellular connectivity is one of those perks that make it worth for me to pay a premium for Apple products vis a vis other tablet competitors. For the first 5-6 months I've been really impressed with the speed of the LTE connection to the point I was tempted to upgrade from the iPhone 4s to the latest model just for that capability.
But now I'm extremely weary as the rug seems to have been yanked out from under me here, not that the LTE connection has become any slower when I have the signal, but it's now its impossible to establish the 4g LTE connection in many places where I had four bars before the software update. Would love any answers or recommendations - fairly new to iDevices so maybe it's some mistaken setting I'm using, if so please advise - but otherwise it's left a very bad taste in my mouth, & I commend and co-sign with the poster above for raising the issue.

I want to download over 100mb apps in iOS 8 AppStore over Cellular Data

Hello
i have iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1,the thing is my carrier supports over night 50gb bandwidth at cheap cost
Sometimes I need to download 200~1gb apps but it's so annoying that app won't start downloading until wifi network is available ,at least there should be an option where user agree's to select cellular data for these downloads

You'll have to make the suggestion to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

IOS 8.2 and cellular data problem Iphone 5

Hi team,
I am using Apple 5 32GB, recently I upgraded to IOS 8.2.
From that date onwords my Cellular data is not enabled. It enabled after I restart the mobile. after some time again same proble.
Please look into this issue.

Does that mean it will not turn on? Does this mean you cannot see the on/off switch in Cellular? Does this mean it is on but not working? Please provide more information if you would like someone to help.

Cellular Data Settings

I'm not sure I completely understand the cellular data setting in IOS7. When using facetime it seems to default to using cellular data even when connected to a network. Anyone know why? I don't remember having to mess with any cellular settings in IOS6.
The result of this is a very erratic connection in facetime. Voice cutting out all the time, even had a loud echo during one call.
Anyone else having this issue?
Do I have to remember to turn off cellular data when making a facetime call while in a wifi network?
